“Far from a public idol-killing, or zany sideshow, Barter 6 is composed, patient, even subtle—an album neither fans nor detractors saw coming. It argues that Young Thug's greatest asset all along was his uncanny and singular way of piecing a song together.”
“At his best over the past two years — on one-off puffs of narcotized minimalism like "Stoner" and "Danny Glover" — this 23-year-old Atlanta trap star reveled in an unhinged musicality, his whoops, barks, yelps and rhymes communicating an aggrieved freedom. But here that's submerged beneath an endless slurry of syrupy tracks, as tales of murking, licking, smoking and spending spool out in an undiff”
“Atlanta rapper and singer Young Thug releases a one-dimensional album that couldn't have possibly lived up to the drama-fueled hype that led up to it.”
